1 The Surgical Services, Triboro Hospital and Private Patient Service of the New York Hospital—Cornell Medical Center.

1) Diminished pulmonary function and distressing symptoms due to pulmonary cysts, blebs and localized emphysema may in selected cases be relieved by surgical resection of the involved pulmonary tissue.

2) Resection is especially indicated when expansion of the compressed and potentially functioning remaining lung tissue can be secured.

4) Cases illustrating the details of diagnosis and pre-and post-operative treatment of bullous emphysema have been presented.
